We are trial lawyers with more than thirty years of litigation experience. We understand that in today's mortgage environment, homeowners trying to save their homes often feel like it's David vs. Goliath.

Our attorneys have extensive experience in mortgage banking, real estate and litigation. Lead attorney, Eric Traut, is widely recognized for his skills in handling complex cases and cutting to the heart of critical issues.

We understand that litigation can be part of a strategy for negotiating with the bank, and we bring all of our efforts and expertise to bear for our homeowner-clients.

We build our cases by listening closely to the client, and by gathering the relevant information so we can understand exactly what the bank has done to you and how it has impacted your life and your family. After analyzing your case in detail, an attorney will discuss your case with you in a frank and open fashion. We will agree to represent you only if we are 100% certain that you fully understand the possible reward, the potential risks and the likely expense.

With the understanding that most cases never go to trial, we aggressively negotiate with the banks in an attempt to reach an acceptable resolution for our clients without the costs of prolonged litiation and/or trial whenever possible. However, if need be we will be prepared to take your bank to trial and hold them accountable!

Our state of the art case management process, proactive negotiation skills and documented experience in litigation have led to a successful outcome for many of our clients. Yes the banks have their attorneys. That is why you need the Traut Law Group!
